I don't think Sestito garners more than a 5-7th round pick, if that

I'd be thrilled with a 7th. Maybe Burkie will give up a 5th.

Even he couldn't defend wops.

Meh the fewer Italians the better, that should start at the top.

Swiss Italian maybe, but Sbisa def Swiss.

Even worse, an Italian that doesn't take a side.

I'm not to worried about tonight's game, but for Sat & Sun this team needs to go to the mattresses.

Yes, it'd be more for his benefit than for ours.

Someone tell Tom to start growing out his hair and slicking it back. Butter up the old bastard

So either Bonino is out for tonight's game or Bo isn't playing

Media suggesting that Boner required treatment for a shot he blocked vs the Avs.

Sounds like Bonino's either out or a game time decision

If he's still planning to play that must mean Horvat's the odd man out?

(frank)ing Torts

After Game 7, when the Sharks bottomed out,
Wilson got to thinking, well ‘What’s this about?’
He looked at his roster, his coach & his club!
Something clealry’d gone wrong, just what was the rub!
I’ve got it! He pondered, A brilliant new thought!
“Let’s go full rebuild! Post haste! On the spot!”
He grabbed some scissors, in a drawer found some waivers,
Should I fire McClellan? No, I owe him some favors!
But I’ll cut off that ‘A’, and trim off that “C”
Look! A whole rebuild! And we did it for free!
Told Havlat, 'Hit the bricks!’
Then ‘Boyle, Grab your things!’
Who was well, willing to go,
Just …not to the Wings!
And what about Joe, who Toronto were eyeing
“No, I won’t waive” and "I wish you’d quit trying!”
It’s ‘tomorrow’s team’, they stated, ‘a cup is quite near.’
But, Doug…isn’t that the same team as last year?

I can't imagine Willie would have Horvat skating with Higgins and Burrows if he's going to be on the 4th line tonight. IMO he will either fill in for Boner or they gave Boner the morning off and used Horvat as a fill-in

Wha? What GM would trade anything for Sestito?

Future Considerations.

Excellent

Edit: the best line you have come up with. "But I’ll cut off that ‘A’, and trim off that “C” Look! A whole rebuild! And we did it for free!"

Meh. It's 15 games in and he played in two of them. I'm sure he could be a good plugger, but those aren't exactly in short supply...

Like the Canucks depth right now...I think we've recovered to where we were a couple of years ago...good goalie prospects, young guys ready for prime time NOW and some good stuff in the system.

Most important: lots of centres and lots of D to fill in for injuries.

You saw that too? I still get the feeling that Kypreos and Doug MacLean don't like talking canucks. They seem to wince everytime they are brought up.
